Scammers contacting local businesses, going door-to-door

By Mike Jette, MVHS Principal

We have received several complaints about people knocking on doors in the Penacook area soliciting money for needy students at MVHS. In some cases they mention a “food coop” or a “food drive.” Please be aware that we do not allow students to solicit door-to-door.

The Concord Police are aware of this activity. If you have had someone knocking on your door claiming to be from MVHS, please contact the Concord Police at 225-8600.

There is also a company called Sports Media that is contacting area businesses selling ads for a Merrimack Valley High School sports poster. We do not have a business relationship with this company. The school does not benefit in any way from the ads placed with this company.

MVHS is in the process of creating a new Web page that will detail our actual fundraising activities and procedures. If you have questions about whether a fundraiser is legitimate, please visit AndoverBeacon.com/MVHS and click the “Athletics & CoCurricular” tab.

We truly appreciate the on-going support of our local businesses and members of the community!
